Over the span of the last few months, six volunteers from Fire District 3 attended the Peninsula College Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) Program where they spent countless hours mastering their Emergency Medical Service (EMS) skills. These six individuals will now be able to respond to 911 calls within their home stations area. We want to congratulate these individuals on their achievement. Strong work!

Fire crews responded today to a brush fire off Griffith Farm Road. Even though we are not yet in our peak summer months, grass and brush are already very dry and can ignite quickly.

We want to remind everyone to use extra caution with anything that could spark a fire. Fireworks, outdoor burning, equipment use, and even small ignition sources can quickly lead to a fast-moving brush fire in current conditions.

Please help prevent brush fires and wildfires by:
• Avoiding fireworks or other open flame activities in dry vegetation
• Using extra caution with equipment that can create sparks
• Never tossing ci******es or smoking materials onto the ground
• Keeping vehicles off dry grass

A small spark can have serious consequences. Please be careful and do your part to help keep our community safe.

Stay Fire Safe This Summer
Summer grilling is a great way to gather with family and friends especially as we enter June, but, grills can quickly become a fire hazard if not used safely.
Top Grilling Safety Tips
• Keep grills at least 10 feet from homes, decks, railings, fences, and overhangs.
• Never grill indoors or in a garage, carport, or covered porch.
• Always stay with the grill while cooking.
• Keep kids and pets at least 3 feet away from the grilling area.
• Clean grease and fat buildup from grills and trays regularly.
• Check propane tanks and hoses for leaks before use.
• Use only charcoal starter fluid if needed for charcoal grills. Never use gasoline!
• Turn off the gas and burners when finished grilling.
• Keep a water source or fire extinguisher nearby.
Before You Grill
• Inspect your grill for damage.
• Make sure the grill is stable, on a flat surface and away from the sides of houses or other combustible materials.
• Open the lid before lighting a gas grill.
If a Grill Fire Starts
• For propane grills: Turn off the burners and gas supply if it is safe to do so.
• Never move a burning grill.
• Call 911 if the fire is spreading or you cannot control it quickly.
Grill smart. Stay alert. Prevent fires.

Wildfire and Brush Fire Season is Here!

As the weather warms up, our beautiful Olympic Peninsula landscape is drying out faster than usual. In Clallam County, many of our neighborhoods sit right where “wildland fuels” meet our homes, putting us at higher risk for brush and wildfires. Prevention isn’t just a department goal, it’s a community effort. Small actions today can prevent a disaster tomorrow.

Follow these 5 essential tips to keep our community safe:

🌾Clear the Fuel: Keep dry grass mowed and brush cleared at least 30 feet away from your home.

🔥 Stay Attentive: Never leave campfires or burn piles unattended. Before you leave, ensure they are “drown, stirred, and cold to the touch”.

🚬 Dispose Safely: Never toss ci******es out of car windows or onto the ground. Use deep, sturdy ashtrays.

🚜 Watch the Sparks: Avoid driving or parking vehicles on dry grass. Hot exhaust pipes can ignite a fire in seconds. Only use lawnmowers and w**d whackers in the early morning when humidity is high and temperatures are low.

☎️ Act Fast: If you see active flames or fire, don’t wait. Call 911 immediately.
